Samizdata quote of the day

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men

Doesn’t it? I’d love to see this one come to court though, and see the CPS wriggle about bringing the case in the first place. But let’s face it, Free Speech is fucked in this country and damned near all others that consider themselves liberal and free.

You don’t have free speech but you do have permitted speech. You are allowed to parrot politically correct opinions as long as you don’t “offend’ the protected sacred cows of the left.

The quote is from Churchills “The River war” and is available as a free download from the Gutenberg press. Well worth a read for the point of view of the history and insights it contains and Churchills beautiful prose. He uses words with precision and grace rarely seen nowadays.

Bruce yes – although the Marxists (the Frankfurt School P.C. “Critical Theory” education system and media crowd) and the Islamists are both planning to betray the other. But for now their shared hatred of the “capitalist” West matters more.

However, the Frankfurt School academics are quite happy with anti Semitism (which they rename “anti Zionism” or “anti capitalism” – which pictures of long nosed bankers and so on, for the “Occupy” thugs). “But the Frankfurt School was founded by Jews” – the modern Frankfurt School do not care (and the founders were, of course, not practicing Jews anyway), people like Edward Said are the modern hero figures.

As for un P.C. language – it depends who is being “racist” (or whatever), under the doctrines of the Frankfurt School a “victim group” (victims of “capitalism” of course) can never be wrong (as long as it is “Progressive”). So when Mr “Lenny” Henry says he wants more “black” people in entertainment jobs this is NOT racism, but when a UKIP candidate replies “well emigrate to a black country then”, this IS racism.

Not logical? You forget (dear reader) that Marxism rejects logic (“capitalist reason” – the Nazis used to call it “Jewish reason” and also rejected it) – in favour of dialectic.

Last point – beware some of those who claim to be ENEMINES of the Frankfurt School Marxists (and the Islamists).

Many of these are Black Flag people (Fascists – or “ethnic nationalists”) or their friends – and at least one friend of the Fascists (one who lives in Kent and calls himself a libertarian) used to work for the Islamists himself.

Indeed Islamists of the very area that Winston Churchill fought in. The campaign of extermination of Christians and moderate (i.e. nominal) Muslims in the Sudan and surrounding lands is not just recent – it was happening in the time of Churchill (he fought against it) and indeed for centuries of war before Churchill’s time.

Those who were paid by Churchill’s Islamist enemies, and are friends with Churchill’s Fascist enemies are unlikely to be admirers of Winston Churchill.

I’d say it’s because the left doesn’t believe in the rights of women any more than they believe in freedom of speech. (Back in the Sixties “The correct position for women in the Movement is horizontal” after all.) Instead they use these things as clubs to beat up on their opponents to the right – their white male western European (or Anglosphere) opponents only.

The left’s view, when it comes down to it, is that women have no rights which non-white men are bound to respect.

This sort of incident seems to be happening more and more, and all that happens is that the papers make a fuss if they hear about it, and we hear that things have ‘calmed down’, but if we are to maintain the rule of law, the perpetrators of these incidents, and the complainants will only stop if there is a bill of attainder brought against them, with mandatory imprisonment until death (not a ‘life sentence’) or permanent exile being the only outcomes that seem proportionate to me.

Whilst it may be harsh and it may be a weapon turned against decent people, at least a bill of attainder would require a higher number of votes than a jury.

When Barack Hessian Obama moved into the White House, one of the first things he did was to return the bust of Winston Churchill that was in the Oval Office to the British Embassy. It had been on loan From Great Briton. Now I know why it was returned………

Who Are We?

The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
